CEO Transitions Create Risks for Australian Healthcare Investors -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Jan 19

2341 GMT - RBC Capital Markets's message to investors in Australian healthcare stocks: Be alert to CEO transition risks. Among companies that have changed leaders in recent months are Ansell, Sonic Healthcare, Integral Diagnostics and Monash IVF. "The appointments of new CEOs follow long tenure periods under the previous management, and therefore we see possibilities for a combination of strategy resets, asset impairments, and 'kitchen sinking' guidance," says analyst Craig Wong-Pan. There could be operational disruptions from the management changes. Also, some managers who missed out on the CEO position could leave, RBC says. "We also note there have been a number of new CFOs, including at CSL, Ramsay Health Care and Healius," it adds. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
